Someone decided that it'd be best if he retired from the race

$6 million is a really low estimate for the stud value of a TC contender, it's also not a great consolation prize.

The stud fee for a TC contender averages $100,000-$150,000, bred 30-40 times a year, over say 25 years of fertility, $75,000,000 in total not taking into account declining value. The stud fee for a TC winner could hit $500,000 if he's proven to produce high quality foals. Secretariats stud fees total around $114,000,000 even though he died young (19), and had a streak of unsuccessful foals that hurt the value of his sperm (Canadian Bound (Secretariat x Charming Alibi) sold for $1,500,000 and was a worthless failure).

holy shit I didn't realize they were worth so much

there is more toughness and integrity in IHA's torn front leg then the entire euro 2012 tournament

tough break for the jockey and the horse

it broke my heart when they told him and his response was, "Ok...should I go home now?".
